Breakfast was Great Grains cereal and one of the grapefruit that we brought from home. It seems odd to bring citrus fruit into Citrus County Florida but the Texas grapefruit that we get from Sam’s Club are so much better and less expensive than Florida grapefruit, even here in Florida.
Mary had completed painting the replacement interior doors yesterday, so she started painting the bifold closet doors from Mark and Cindy’s first floor bedroom. Mark and I finished all of the wainscoting panels and chair railing. We put touch up paint on places where we damaged the finish cutting or installing the boards. Everything looked really good only needing to be caulked to close gaps between the moulding and the walls.
Around noon we had a snack then started cleaning up and picking up. We had a lot of tools and construction supplies scattered about and needing put away. By 1:30 the place was looking pretty good. Jodie and Grant came around 2 pm and after a visit, we had ham, rolls, scalloped potatoes, squash casserole and asparagus. I enjoyed talking with Grant about his genealogy research and their visit to the LDS archives in Salt Lake City.
After dinner, Mark put a football game on the television and most of the group played cards. I took Jade on a walk around the neighborhood, but she heard the whistle for a man training his dog and was spooked. She pulled hard to go home as soon as she could get there. I didn’t realize that she had heard the whistle accompanied by shots from a blank pistol. As a result, she trembles every time she hears the whistle and races for home. After we got back, Jade ran and hid in the first floor bedroom closet and I went upstairs and worked on this journal. Grant and Jodie left around 6 so we relaxed and watched an episode of The Canal Boat Diaries on Acorn TV.
